Thought the Caps played pretty well overall. I mean in the end, shots were 30-23 on the road, that's not a bad effort at all.
As for flaws, like 1st line not creating much at ES, it's nothing new. I think by now almost all of us would agree that solving that puzzle is a huge key to the SC run.
Hawks looked as advertised, solid deep team, and good when it comes to making critical plays that can alter a shift/period/game. But aside from the Kane line, which demands exceptional defensive awareness/effort, the Caps match up pretty well.
